In a significant move to promote education within the community, Hon. Seyi Jakande, the Executive Chairman of the Odi-Olowo/Ojuwoye Local Council Development Area (LCDA), launched the free General Certificate Examination (GCE) Form for indigent students of the community during the week with over 1000 collections.
This was followed up with qualifying Examination on Friday, August 29 at Ilupeju Grammar School.
This initiative is a key component of Jakande’s HEWA Agenda, aimed at providing students with the tools they need to excel academically and improve their chances of gaining admission to higher institutions or finding employment.
By offering free GCE forms, the administration not only reinforces its commitment to educational access but also supports the academic aspirations of local residents.
